Check out PS3 NA trade forums. We've hit Xbox prices and then some.

0/5 just means they're empty, you'd just have to refill them lol.

That's what I thought - but wasn't sure and did not want to lose 1/2 a mil in scrip if wrong. Thanks!

Dude was also being a flat out jerk to you. He could have entirely refilled the grenades for 100 scrip at any vendor, but chose to rage on you instead

To be honest, 'cus he was so upset, I was even more convinced it was a scam. Sounds like it wasn't, but now I know. Thanks!

Never heard of this before as when trading seller and buyer have always made sure they've got 5/5. There's nothing wrong with being on your guard especially when there are so many willing to rip people off.
I need to move some gear today between characters so will test this out to see what happens.
Are you on xbox? If so and you still want them I've got some oj frags you can have for the 500k, I only use bio or flash bangs normally.

Thanks Bentu! Appreciate the offer, but I'm on PS3 NA. Glad to hear I wasn't crazy for being cautious!

I give away orange grenades, don't know why people want so much for something that is not worth that much.

Thanks Escyos!

hit me up if im on. i have one chr with alot of inventory space if ya need help moving stuff......and i tested the grenade thing earlier. 2/5 grenades traded just fine so the 0/5 should do the same. only catch is you HAVE to make sure you dont have any of that type in your inventory. theres still the chance it will become a refill for a lower color.

TO OP: it always a good rule of thumb to not have any of what ever type of grenade you are buying.

I actually learned that lesson last nite. I did buy oj frag grenades from someone else (a full 5/5 set) and it upgraded my purple frags to orange. No loss though, I'm cool with it. Thanks!

On Ps3 like 6 months ago, we had a bug that "seemed" empty nades vanished when traded.
It happened in trades with fair vets but havnt heard of since awhile so i guess it has been reported n fixed.

Aside indeed Nades are totally useless in my book, i used to give em for free to clannies, now i sell em straight away to make a 300k.

Anyway i hardly use my money as i prefer trade to trade. But prices goes crazy indeed, and when you say like "400k oj nade" you hear most (of the guys sellin guns for millions) laughting for 5 mins and finally trying to get it the cheaper price, when they would just have to leave it if they were fairly finding it outrageous.

Its all about a freaking buisness strategy just to earn so USELESS currency.

Aswell as i have a kind of satisfaction when I read on zone:
-" ***** for trade"
-"How much?? money is no problem"
-"Not for sale, for trade"
-" -_- leave it then..."

I just think handing over good guns for crapp useless currency is just stupid.

How i work is, i give for free to friends what they seek (i given Ladies, Reckoning, HP7,T4 mods,....)
And in return, i know i can ask them stuffs and get free (missing Warmaster ojs, mods, Extralife gear, new syn gear,....)

I always worked like this because old players taught me this way when i joined.
Sometimes your too confident and someone mess up with you, but you learn and word spreads fast between vets.

Anyway, i still have a Hatchin nade i couldnt sell as the last time i spammed i wanted 350 and he wanted 300. he pretended to be poor but hes one of the richest EU guys, so no mercy.

If any who want it, i dont keep nades.
And its 5/5 full

Thanks Eleni! I'm PS3 but on the NA server, appreciate the offer though!

It's called avarice !!!!! Unfortunately there are a lot of greedy people out there that like to play War Profiteer. Try to join a good clan that helps each other out.

No not crazy but being cautious can make you miss the odd great opportunity.
